Assassin’s Creed 3 hood – this time it’s a full tutorial!

Remember several weeks ago when I posted about making an Assassin’s Creed 3 costume piece for a LoadingReadyRun video? The post where I was like, “this turned out so well, it totally wasn’t even that tricky to do, isn’t it awesome” and then didn’t include a tutorial. Cuz I’m a jerk. Well this week I’ve [...]

paper pie gift boxes (for Pi Day!)

Earlier this week, my mom sent me a very important email informing me that next Wednesday, March 14, is Pi Day. (Because the date is 3/14, you see.)

Zergling plush – bonus post

Today I bring you another photo-heavy episode in the annals of custom plushie making, and the first one that ventures away from Magic the Gathering and into the realm of video and computer games.

creative uses for pinback buttons… and all about PAX!

First off, I apologize for not putting up a post last Friday. I was in Seattle, busily depriving myself of sleep and being surrounded by 90,000 or so amazing people. It was awesome. My lack of posting was less than awesome, but let’s remember my double post of the previous week and move along, forgiving [...]
